“Who would Marcus Stoinis be to someone in the NBA/NFL?” - Photographer reacts after video of him failing to recognize Aussie cricketer goes viral
USA photographer David Guerrero has shared a cheeky post on social media after a video of him failing to recognize Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis went viral.
On Wednesday, August 9, a video of Stoinis vacationing with his girlfriend Sarah Czaenuch in New York, USA was widely shared on social media. In the clip, the duo are seen ambling down a road when the photographer Guerrero approaches them for some pictures.
After approaching the couple, Guerrero shows them some of his pictures, which impresses both Stoinis and Sarah Czaenuch. He then goes on to ask the duo, where they are from, to which both simultaneously reply “Australia”. The photographer replies that he loves the Ashes, which makes it clear that he had not recognized Stoinis.
After Guerrero shared the video on his X account, many cricket fans were surprised that the lensman did not know who Stoinis was. A lot of them commented on the video and informed that he had not clicked a layman but a cricket star.
Later, Guerrero took to social media again and shared a cheeky query, which went as follows:
“To my cricket fans who would Marcus Stoinis be to someone in the NBA/NFL?”
